There will always be a degree of bullying but I think having everyone in youth organizations like the young pioneers would be cool. Teaching practical skills, building comradery, and giving kids something to do.
big thing not often talked about in the Soviet Union: Free sports and youth activities. People regularly rate that as one of the things they miss the most about the USSR. Back then you could simply request to join a team and they'd find you one, and they had quite a lot choices including rafting, rock climbing and more niche stuff.
That sounds pretty cool but I wonder how it would work for neurodivergent kids with an aversion to joining those sorts of organizations because of difficulty fitting in?
